im using 8.5", and can probably fit 9.5, on a 3rd gen width rear, with a 18" wheel though.

what are you looking to use for tires? are you using stock style suspension? you will have to move the shock mounts and the control arms too. Your almost to the point of a back half.

i want to tuck 315/60/15 drag radial under fender lip

you can do that without doing anything as drastic as moving the springs to the other side of the frame.

A typical minitub with smaller springs will accomplish this.

if you look around, either here or in suspension, a few people here use that size tire.

yes you can you just have to make a smaller perch for hte top of the spring pocket. the 2.5 should fit right on the stock rear perch.

Im using 2.5" springs with weight jacks on the back of 92 for that matter.
